Default Well my car got Keyed today...

Well I came out from class earlier, drove to HEB. Saw the backend of my car, and someone keyed my spoiler and hatch. They also knicked out some on the center section of the taillights. Also, 4 long scratches on the bumper. All scratches are deep as ****. I'm sure it all happened when I was in class.
I used my camera phone to take the pics, so its hard to see. Should I use insurance, or eat the costs?
PS... I'll be selling the car soon. Theres no telling if this will happen again, I dont want everyone in SM to know what car I drive.

not necessarily but most likely. you'll have to check your policy to be sure. i could actually write you an estimate if i had your VIN bc i have the estimating system open on my computer right now at my desk lol

Okay man, the estimate came out to $1,335.63 Total. That's as close as i can figure without seeing it so it could be a touch less or more. Also keep in mind that this price is for work being done pretty much perfectly. You can find much cheaper places that aren't lifetime warrantied like we are.

Do you think it will hurt my rates etc alot? I've never been in an 'at fault' accident. But I have had to use my uninsured motorist coverage.

Thanks for the help.
